From Eveiett’s Franklin Lecture.
DISTINGUISHED SELF-TAUGHT
AMERICANS.
If we needed any encouragement to make
these efforts to improve our mind, we might
find it in every page of our country’s history.
No where do you meet with examples, more
numerous and more brilliant, of men who have
risen above poverty and obscurity and every ]
disadvantage, to usefulness and an honorable
name. Our whole vast continent was added to
the geography of the world, by the persevering
efforts of an humble Genoese mariner, the great
Columbus, who, by the steady pursuit of tho en
lightened conception which he had of the earth,
before any navigator had acted upon the belief
that it was round, and discovered the American
continent. He was the son of a Genoese pilot;
a pilot and seaman; and, at one period of his
melancholly career, was reduced to beg his
bread at the doors of the convents in Spain!
But he earned within himself, and beneath an
humble exterior, a spirit for which there was
not room in Spain, in Europe, nor in the then
known world, and which led him onto a height
of usefulness and fame beyond that of all the
tnonarchs that ever reigned.
The story of our Franklin cannot be repeat
ed too often; the poor Boston boy, the son of
an humble tradesman, brought up a mechanic,
himself, a stranger at colleges till they shower
ed their degrees upon him; who rendered his
country the most important service in estab
lishing her independence; enlarged the bounds
of philosophy by anew department of science; j
and lived to be pronounced, by Lord Chatham, J
in the British House of Peers, an honor to j
Europe and the age in which he lived.
Why should I speak of, Greene, who left his !
blacksmith’s furnace to command an army in
the revolutionary war; the chosen friend of
Washington, and next to him, perhaps, the mili
tary leader, who stood highest in the confidence
ofhis country?
West, the famous painter, was the son of a
Quaker in Philadelphia; he was too poor, at the
beginning of his career, to purchase canvass
and colors; and he rose eventually to be the
first artist in Europe, and President of the Roy
al Academy at London.
Count Rumlort was the son of a farmer, at
Woburn; he never had the advantage of a col
lege education, but used to walk down to Cam
bridge to hear lectures on natural philosophy,
lie became one of the most eminent philoso
phers in Europe; founded the royal institution
in London, and had the merit of bringing for
ward Sir Humphrey Davy, as the lecturer on
chemistry, in that establishment.
Robert Fulton was a portrait painter in Penn
sylvania, without friend or fortune. By his
successful labors in perfecting steam navigation,
he has made himself one of the greatest bene
factors of man.
Whitney, the 3on of a Massachusetts farmer,
was a machinest. His cotton gin, according
to Sudge Johnson, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, has trebled the value of all the
cotton land at the South, and has had an incal
culable influence on the agricultural and me
c! a iral industry of the world.
Whittemore, of West Cambridge, the person
who invented the machinery fi# the manufac
ture of cards, possessed no other means of
improvement than those which are within the
reach of every temperate and industrious man.
Several in this audiance were probably ac
quainted with the modest and sterling merit
of the late Mr. Paul Moody. To the efforts of
his self-taught mind, the early prosperity of
the great manufacturing establishment at Wal
tham and Lowel. is in no small degree owing.
I believe I may say with truth that-not one of
these individuals enjoyed, at the outset, superi
or opportunities for acquiring useful kno vledge,
to those within the reach of every one who
hears me.
These are all departed; but we have living
among us illustrious instances of men, who,
without early advantages, but by the resolute
improvement of the few opportunities thrown in
their way, have rendered themselves in like
manner, useful to their fellow men, the objects
of admiration to those who witness theii attain
ments, and of gratitude to those who reap the
fruit of their labors.
Edward Buckett’s Courtship. —Old Mister
Posey, the fath r of Polly Posey, lived clos’t
by our house and Polly used to come over
rite often ; she was a darn’d purty gal, and 1
uueu to have some mighty quere lecliags about
It comes, tli c Herald ofa Golden Wor 1 and.
her; at last one day, my mother says to me,
“Ned, why don’t you court Polly Posey.”—
“ Oh,” I, “mammy, I do want to, but I don’t
know what to say lo her.” “ W T hy, Ned,” says
she, “ gest go, an’ the first good chance you git
say, fine weather, Miss Polly, and that will he a
beginning, and one word brings on another, and
when you git in a good way of chat, gest say,
Miss Polly you’ve got my hart; and if she likes
that purty well, then pop the question.”—
So, one Sunday evening I told mother I tuought
it was a good time to go to see Polly, she said
so did she. So I fixed up, put on my best clothes
and corned my hair, and axed mother if she
thought I’d do. “Oh yes,” says she. I’d call
you the ‘ clean thing’ now.” So off I starts,
and soon found myself at Mr. Posey’s tloor.
“Who’sthar?” says Mrs. Posey. “Edward
Bucket,” says I. “Walk in, Mr. Bucket, how’s
your mammy and the children ?” “ All stir
in,” I thank yo, how’s all your folks!” “All
well sir.” There sot Polly, says I, “What’s
the news, Miss Polly?” “Oh, Mr. Bucket,”
says she, nothing, I believe, only 1 herd you
were about to get married.” Thar, thought I
the subject’s broached already. “Oh, no” says
I, Miss Pollv, only wants to he.” About this
time night comes on, and it begun to rain dread
fully ; in ran the old man, “ How are you, Mr.
Bucket ?” “ Well, I thank you.” After
awhile supper was over, and I begun to think 1
ought to he saying something on the subject.—
] So I set on my chair and my heart swelled ; all
was full of life but me ; I w'as thinking about
my bizziness; so at last says Mrs. Posey “Pol
ly go to the door,and see it the rain don’t quit.”
Polly jumped up and run to the door, and look
ing out, said; I’ts so a > 1 can’t see hut
by the lightnen ; l see another Cw"'.) j ll - 4 ‘ !C “
hind.” Now, thought I, is my lime. Polly
kept staving in the piazar, and I sot still,
sighing in my chair, till at last I called up
all my courage, and walked to where Pollv
was; it was so dark, I could’nt see her, and so I
spoke that she might answer, so as how I cou’d
find her. “Fine weather, Miss Polly,” “Oh,no,
Mister Bucket, it’s too rainy.” “ Well, I don’t
noe, but the rain does make it worse,” says I,
and by this time I had got my hand on her shol
der. “One word brings on another,” says I.
“Sometimes,” says she. “La ! Mr. Bucket,
what an ugly night for a wedding.” Thar,
thought I, now’s my time ; so, says I, “ Miss
Polly mother says you’ve got my liver.” —“Oh,
no, Air. Buckett, may’bc its your heart.” This
stumped me, and if I could of got my hat, 1 blevc
I would left off then, but she kept talking on full
of life, but I could’nt forget the liver—so I told
j her I would come again, before long, and she
| said she didn’t care if I did ; and I told her I
j wanted to court her and she said she did’nt care
j if I did ; so I got my hat and started ho lie, after
the usual good night and all the way home I
kept thinking about the. liver, but I thought no
body would noe it, and I would rub off—But
Polly told all the gals of it, ’till mother get hold
of it, and I guess as how I got a genteel scold
ing—but the people all laffed at me so much
about it that I got right mad with Polly,and haint
spoke to her since, and every time I see a young
feller, without experience, arter the gals, I think
of the fine weather and the liver.

•
Improvement of Time. —To be careful how wc
manage and employ our time is one of the first
precepts that is taught in the school of w isdom,
and one of the last learned.
Among all the blessings which are bestowed
upon us, time is the most precious ; yet shore is
none perhaps of which most men are more pro
fuse and regardless. It is dealt out to us iu min
utes and little parcels, as if we were not fit to he
trusted with the entire possession of such a
choice treasure.
We assume the position as a fact established
by admission, that farmers have more leisure
hours than any other class of the community.—
But should proof be demanded it would only he
necessary to appeal to the great mass of practi
cal farmers, and the evidence would he as abun
dant as the witnesses would he numerous.
It is generally admitted by farmers that in
Winter they can do hut little with regard to man
ual labor. This is true; but we cannot admit
that the elements are unpropilious to intellectual
industry and improvement,or that he who was
[iroclaimed his unalterable edict, that man shall
earnhis bread by the sweat ofhis brow, and gave
to him his dignified employment, should throw
His icy mantle over the mind. No; this incle
ment portion of time seems to be particularly de
signed by Providence fur the improvement of the
mind, and soci 1 intercourse. Then, why not
improve it ? It is asked how farmers shall im
prove it to the best advantage ? We would sug
gest the following plan for consideration, with
the hope that it will be adopted if a better one
cannot be devised.
Let fanners within the limits of each school
district form an association for the discussion of
Agricultural subjects in all its branches. Let it
he exclusively for this object. Call it the Farm
ers Lyceum, if you please. Meet at the district
school house, or any other convenient place,
once a week. Appoint a president, secretary,
and such other officers as arc necessary to or
ganize the society and to transact business. At
the close of each meeting let a question he pro
posed for discussion at the ensuing meeting, and
assign the parts to the speakers, &c. As soon
as a sufficient number of district associations
arc formed, appoint delegates from all tho dis
trict Lyceums to meet in some convenient place,
to organise a Town Lyceum, to he composed
of liic mcailisrs of the several district Lyceums.
Let this assosiation meet once a month for the
purpose of discussing subjects relating to the va
rious branches of Agriculture, in the same man
ner as in the district Lyceum. Parts to be 4 as
signed to one or more individuals from each
district, &c. &c.
We do not pretend to dictate the course to be
pursued in organizing or conducting such asso
ciations,hut merely propose this method of spend
ing our leisure time
We confidently believe that the happiest ef
fects would result from such exercises. Those
associations would be the means of diffusing
much useful information on the subject of Agri
culture, as the lectures or discussions would be
given by individuals daily employed in, or con
versant with, the pursuits connected with the ai t.
In this way we could secure the advantage of
theory and practice, which go hand in hand in
improvements. It would eulisl a laudable spir
it of inquiry, and would soon spread its salutary
influences through the. whole community. The
proper inquiry would be heard. What is the
cause, and the effect ? The different modes of
farming would be compared, and the results giv
en. The effects of experiments already tried
would be revealed and the results communica
ted. In short, the mind would be enriched and
the farm improved.— Farmers Reporter.

Sometime in the autumn of IS—, the writer
then a mere youth, was walking in one of the
mountain towns in Vermont, with one of the
most amiable youths of that section of country.
His name was James Manning Hall, of an
excellent family, and breathing, in the heigth of
his worldly bliss, the balmy air of the tweltli
year ofhis existence We remember well the af
fectionate dignity ol this generous and noble
minded little man.
The sun was goingdownwith a lustrous splen
dour over the ridges of the Green Mountains as
we separated. We shook hands, repeated the
words good night! good night! an usual num
ber of times, and then stood looking after each
other with smiles. We little thought that our
separation was,as it regards this world, a final
one.
The next morning, the beautiful, the benev
olent, the sober-minded, and the intellectual
James Manning Hall, was an inanimate image
of clay. He had thoughtlessly ascended the
ladder of a cart body which was leaning against
the fence, and when l e had nearly gained the
top, it fell ever upon him, and crushed his skull.
His death was instant.
A whole community were in tears. My
heart was broken. Long years of sorrow and
the iush of a thousand stirring events throngh
my bosom have not effaced his dear image from
my memory. I can still see the smile of his
last good night!
A wag having run himself over head and cars
in debt, and seemed very unconcerned about it,
his friends told him that they wondered how ho
could sleep quietly when he was so much
in debt; for myself, said the other, I sleep
very well, but I am astonished that niy creditors !
can.
An officer who lost his leg in battle, suffered

for now vou will have only one boot to clean in
stead of two.

THE GOVERNOR’S LITTLE MISTAKE.
The substitution of the false document for the
true one, originated in the Federal Union O ffico
it seems, for so we must understand the apolo
gy ut that paper of the last week, when it says
the Governor ordered “copies of the resolu
tions to be printed.” And when it says that
“by onq of those accidents to which even the
most vigilant are liable, these copies were pre
pared from the, resolutions a3 they exi~b>d “in
their original shaic, as introduced bv Mr. Tur
ner.” One and perhaps the most important of
its features, was left out of the Governor’s copy,
so that by another ofthose accidents aforesaid,
they were sent to the other States neither in the
form introduced by Mr. Turner, nor as finally
passed. But who printed this mutilated copy
tor the Governor? The discreet reserve of
the Federal Union evinces so great a coyness
on this point that we feci same reluctance in
pressing it. Indeed we do so only from abso
lute necessity; for until it is known who first put
forth this spurious copy, nothing is known.
We must assume for the present, what is c.U
most confessed, that the Federal Union press
jointed the false copies sent by the Governor
to the other States. Now if this was done
from a copy furnished to that press by the Ex
ecutive, then the Governor re the author of nil.
But if from a paper not furnished by that de
partment,then the Governor is no farther blame
able than in putting forth ns a most important
ac! of the sovereignty of the State, a paper that
had not evert any pretended evidence of gen
! uineness.—This last hypothesis divides the
blame between the Executive Department
mid the Federal Union, in what proportions, we
must leave them to settle between themselves,
not being dialecticians enough ourselves to de
termine so nice a point. It however we might
he admitted to put in a word, we should sav
the F • utive semis entitled to much the largest
dividend. Responsibility bears a direc t pro
portion to the credit assumed by the vendor. If
foi instance, the Governor had purchased his
copies from a pedlar, every one sees how “mull
a share the said pedlar would come in for. But
the fact being as we presume, that he received
tliein from a workman or apprentice of resident
respectable persons, such as our neighbors of
the Federal Union, his responsibility is corrres
pondently diminished. Having stated the terms
, of the case, we leave others to work out the
i sum, which of course is to be done by the rule
l of single fellowship. It is certainly unneces
sary to inform the intelligent student, that what
ever proportion of the sum total of censure
may be awarded to the Executive, the Editors
of the Federal Union are fuirly entitled to the
residue;
We admire the frankness of the Editors of
the F. Union in confessing whnt is apparent on
their files. They confess that (after furnish
ing the spurious cojiies to the Governor, as we
presume they did,) they published them in that
paper on the 3d of January. We do on our part
also eonfess that we copied these same resolu
tions in the same form in the Journal of the
10th of January; copying them from the Feder
al Union of tho preceding week. Wc further
more confess, that seeing them there printed
“by authority,” we supposed they were correct,
ns we were authorised to do, and therefore
looked, no further for authority; we add that wo
had not then or for some time afterwards, tho
authentic copy in our possession. Now it is
not iuijiossible that others may be so very un
reasonable as to blame us for taking any thing
from the Federal Union, even what purported
to be mi official copy of an official document:
but that the Editors should turn round and re
proach, •! in any way to endeavor to disparage
us for our easy faith, is not only the unkindest,
but the strangest cut of all.
As to the Governor, iie lias no benefit from
either erf these publications “by authority.”
He sent off bis dispatches previous to the Fed
eral Union publication, and therefore previous
to our reprint of it. He either sent to tho Editors
of that paper the unauthorised copy from which
they p'inted the copies he sent off; or else lie
touk ff.o printed copy they sent him, without
any injury into its authority, llad lie waited
for the correct copy we printed with the laws;
or if in anticipation of that, he had required, ns
he should have done, the certificate of (he prop
er officer, he would have avoided an error, that
has placed Georgia, torn time, before the Union
and tho world, in a inlse position in respect
to the high principles of her State soverignty.
We are informed that the mistake hus been
corrected. W o suppose this has been done
by sending to each State true copies of the res
olutions. This is well. The Governor has done
rightly, and this was all that he now could do.
We are glad to sec that he has corrected his er
ror so soon after w e pointed it out. The gen
tlemen of the Federal Union may have the grat
ification of knowing—they at least have cur testi
mony, that they have defended his Excellency
as well perhaps as ho could have been defend,
cd, on the plan they adopted; though we can
not h it think it would have been better tactics
to have plead guilty and filed exculpatory mat
ter; than to have sought f> cast the blame otr
other people.—Gtwrg-.’a Joiowaf.
